We're moving the ball so slowly! No zip in the passing, and players looking leggy.

I'm not a fan of heights, but that was okay. Enjoyed it. The 'Dont look down' film on c4 was harder to watch. Possibly because I'm 3/4 way through a bottle Rioja to be fair, but hey....

I like him. Always have. Very good in recovery/last ditch tackles. Timing is generally good. Lacks a little physical presence, but a solid prem-quality CB. Could we do better as a back up?

Is somewhat similar to our old managers experience.

That's so sad. My thoughts are with Sam and his family. Bet Dad was so proud to see Sam perform in the way he did against Yeovil and Arsenal. RIP.

"****in love Top Gun...I'm Maverick and you're Goosed" says JRod.

Flores, diving, cheating ****.

Agreed. Looked very rusty, and tried too many ambitious passes. A very good player though, who provides some much needed muscle for us, but has to work on his passing. Scares the **** out of me at times! The reality for us is that we have 3 excellent defensive midfielders, any of whom would walk into most premier league squads. Happy days!

Nice from Davis......chases back 20 yards to nick the ball.

FFS. I pop downstairs to check on the dinner and my 2-0 Lallana with the first goal gets ****ed up. Nuts.

Now that is a good goal. A great team goal.

Stop talking about making Sushi you daft bint.

We need Cork on in the middle - he keeps thing ticking over better than big Vic. Would like to see Sam on for SRL too - there just isn't the movement up front today.

BOOM! Didn't think THEVMAN was English. Had a feeling he was Forren........ And now I am off to the pub.

This. Plus young Sam has a chance to get a few games and goal under his belt. Great for his development, great for encouraging the other academy guys, and another great advert for us. I suspect we're going to be privileged to watch a lot more free-flowing, no-fear performances between now and the end of the season.

Somehow this gave me a flashback to Saturday afternoon wrestling on ITV.......big guys in tights trying to unmask Kendo Nagasaki. Think I need a pint.

Sad his move to us didn't work out. Record signing, Italy no.9 - playing for Saints; I was so excited when he signed. He SHOULD have become the blue ribbon signing that provided leadership and class to help the club and the academy graduates push on to the next level. Should've, would've, could've.... Instead he turned out to be a cock. I do remember the pics on here of him in his Y-fronts, with people stating they wouldn't want him anywhere near our great club. Drain the pint glass and move on......

Any news on a replacement?

Confirmed by us where?

You could make a case that SRL wouldn't have got into the position in the first place...

Loving young Sams runs in behind. AL nearly picked him out with a beauty of a reverse pass early in the first half. Enjoying this game. Hope the 'terrible performance of Arsenal'......'their worst performance in ages'....... continues.

Positive thinking! He got in the position for the chance. He'll get another chance today.

Commentators on the stream I'm watching (Houghton - cock) are already making excuses for the Arse. They were late, and haven't woken up yet.

1-0 Fonte!!!

This is lovely, neat and tidy stuff. Need to score this half though.
